Take Action

THE CAREER I FOUND GIVES ME THE CHANCE FOR A BETTER LIFE.

“These resources helped me find a trade that I’m passionate about, where I can continue to learn and grow throughout my career. I’ve become part of a brotherhood in my union that feels more like a family than coworkers. The career I found gives me the chance for a better life and better opportunities to provide for myself and my family.”

what we do

Connecting qualified workers with quality employers

Nashville is home to many high-road employers that guarantee fair wages, family-friendly benefits, and a company culture built on mutual respect. Yet, recruiting and retaining competent workers from Nashville’s communities can be a struggle for these employers, even as many diligent Nashvillians fail to secure family-sustaining careers in their city.

That’s where Good Jobs Nashville comes in!

We connect these progressive business partners with accomplished employees, streamlining the recruitment and hiring processes while simultaneously serving as a labor pipeline that combats systemic inequality.
